Haiti’s Prime Minister Ousted Amid Ongoing Crisis
Garry Conille has been ousted as Haiti’s Prime Minister just six months after taking office, amid increasing gang violence and political instability. In a letter, he described his dismissal as illegal, raising concerns about the country’s direction. The transitional presidential council, which lacks a valid constitutional basis for such actions, appointed Alix Didier Fils-Aime as his successor. With no president or functioning parliament, Haiti struggles under severe gang control and humanitarian crises, including extreme hunger affecting millions. This instability follows the assassination of former president Jovenel Moïse in 2021, further complicating efforts for democratic restoration.
